I have been pouring over some great public domain books I’ve stumbled across on archive.org in search of some vintage “Steampunky” images for my resin jewelry pieces and found a great volume titled “Cycling art, energy and locomotion” by Robert P. Scott. In it there are a bunch of illustrations of old bicycles and other contraptions from the 1800’s. I have spent hours extracting, cleaning up, and enhancing the drawings to create a set of brushes for Photoshop/PSE. They are much larger than the preview, averaging about 1200-2200 px each. If you guys like these maybe I’ll make more vintage brush sets from some of the other great books I’ve found.

Thank you for mentioning archive.org! I went out there and started looking at some of the recently loaded census data and found the listings (the actual written pages) for some family dating back to the 1850's. I even discovered that for two of the census my great-great grandfather was the enumerator so not only do I have accurate info for the family it is in his own handwriting! Thank you again. You are awesome!

Just in case you would like to enable my "Habit" so I can buy more cool digiscrap stuff!
